Astronomy Calendar of Celestial events 2021 has gone digital, and you can access it from your favorite browser. It is currently supported for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox,  Microsoft Edge and others.

Indoor hobbies have boomed during lockdown, and Deep Sky Astrophotography was no exception. One would think this personal hobby is an outdoor activity by excellence (I used to be one of those), but imaging the cosmos from your backyard, balcony or rooftop can be of utter satisfaction from the comfort of your bed.

The next dark-sky destination is every nightscaper's daydream, and while many go-to locations have been standardized for this matter, breaking out from comfort zones of the well-known ones enables new experiences as an astro-traveler versus an astro-tourist.

Behind Cedar Trees, lies an epic story of resilience and resistance, dating back to biblical times when dense forests covered this land. They are stargazers by nature - always looking up.

After putting a tedious effort in what I love the most, rounding edges and carefully nitpicking, I am overly pleased to announce to you that my Astronomy calendar for the year 2019 has been finally published. The calendar is a well thought-of crafted design, includes my favorite photo picks of the last few years alongside all major and minor astronomy related events of relevance to the passionate avid astronomer (e.g: Eclipses, Conjunctions, Meteor Showers, Lunar Phases. etc..)

It’s safe to say that astrophotography and amateur astronomy has been blooming in Lebanon. On every new moon, astrophotographers relocate their heavy artillery to dark spots for a recurrent date with the stars.

Lebanon celebrated Astronomy Day. Hundreds of people interested in Astronomy participated from across the country to participate and enjoy the show. The event was of utmost success and raised the bar for future science events in the area. 

… spoiler alert: not even a UFO. A spectacular bright flying object dashed slowly for 50 seconds through Dubai's sky was spotted and recorded on video. People reportedly thought it was an aircraft crashing, a UFO and even a meteor (some thought that the Russians are invading).

From Lebanon's dark skies with love. Catch the glimpse of Daniel Caracache's flabbergasting Deep Sky Images.

The Milky Way season kicked-off prematurely this year; astrophotographers planned late night trips at 4:30AM after its rise and just a few minutes before sunrise.
